this is so very nice. i was 13 in1967 and living in Quebec City. this song played continuously on my little transistor radio. its such a beautiful song and brings back feel good memories. we had taken the family summer holidays at Expo 67 in Montreal.
@vampyros1 Judith, the lead singer has 'perfect pitch' and is still singing in key now. Her solo career, while not as prominent as the seekers was successful.
wait a minute didn't i just hear a note a quarter of a key out near the end. No this is LIVE.
This clip is a testament to the cultural grandeur of expo '67...if I'm not mistaken this was part of the Ed Sullivan broadcast from Montreal. To be a Canadian and to have Ed pick up his show and move it - even temporarily - to Canada was nothing short of the Earth moving. To young Canadians now - and those non Canadians of 43 years ago - the delirium of the fair - which had most Canucks hugging themselves with joy - and what it meant to a national sense of self is almost impossible to recapture.
The Seekers are my favorite ever singing group. In this performance, I feel the backup music is below the usual standards for them. In particular, the electric guitar and the drums are too loud. Maybe someone wanted to make the music louder for the American audience(?)
@LibraryUser61 A live performance will always sound different unless sung or lipsynched to a backing track. The music here is satisfyingly close to the original, to my ears. In fact I am impressed with how good it is.
@LibraryUser61 Why would anyone feel compelled to make the guitar and drums louder for a certain audience? Besides, Canada is not in the U.S.; it's a different country .....
Not much of the two Ed Sullivan Shows during Expo67 can be found ! This would have been done at the Expo Theatre at la Cité du Havre (for those familiar with Mntreal ) . I was 21 and starrting my career at Radio-Canada Montreal ,
This is really an amazing video. Not because of the song. The radio stations just wore it out and I don't particularly like it. But this was taped as part of their ONLY North American tour. A few stops in Canada and the US and so long Seekers. The US kinda blew them off, so they did us. And it's our loss. Wonderful band. They just had lousy mgt.
They didn't "blow us off." Their insanely conservative management had contractually obligated them to numerous, substandard gigs in England. Believe me. All four of them would have preferred to be touring the US in support of Georgy Girl...
I am so in love in this song

@CanadaguyRudey I think so, Ed Sullivan did a broadcast at Expo 67 in colour.

Have loved this song ever since I first heard it, and the group as well. This is a great performance.
By the way, I worked at Expo 67, although unfortunately I did not attend this show.

@dalinean haha - he's a Canadian actor and played in The Mighty Wind, a tribute to folk bands. It was just a joke because they look alike. Cheers.
